Irrational Iran

An article from the Tampa Bay Online argues that the leadership of Iran is, by our lights, delusional. That President Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei favor international chaos, violence and strife for reasons of faith.

The article further argues that negotiating with Iran is pointless. Iran sees no reason to do so inasmuch as they believe the world is months away from an Islamic version of "end times," out of which Iran will emerge the winner - because Allah wills it so. It's an interesting analysis. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.
